Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti insists Fernando Torres’ form is not his main concern ahead of Wednesday night’s visit of Birmingham.<\/p>\n

Torres is yet to score in nine Premier League appearances for the Blues, having switched to Stamford Bridge from Liverpool in January for \u00a350million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chelsea, who are eight points adrift of leaders Manchester United, host Alex McLeish’s men bidding to keep alive their slim chances of defending their title.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ancelotti dropped Torres to the bench for the Blues’ 3-1 win at West Brom at the weekend, but he is more concerned with results than the Spaniard’s form.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m not worried about this,” Ancelotti told Sky Sports News<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I hope tomorrow (he will score) but my thoughts right now are to put out the best team, to play good football and to win the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He played nine minutes (against West Brom) and he showed character, I liked it. He scored but it was offside.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Hope’<\/span><\/h4>\n

“He will score. He can score if he plays (against Birmingham). But it doesn’t matter if Fernando or another scores,” added the Italian.<\/span><\/p>\n

Didier Drogba replaced Torres in the starting line-up at The Hawthorns and responded with his second goal in two games, grabbing the equaliser after Chelsea fell behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ancelotti refused to be drawn on suggestions the Ivory Coast international is hell-bent on proving a point and highlighted the whole team’s character in responding to their UEFA Champions League exit with a win.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was a good opportunity to show their character and they did that very well against West Brom,” said Ancelotti.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Not just him (Drogba), all the players reacted very well.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
